Answered Prayers

Prayers Can't Be Answered Unless They Are Prayed

Life without purpose is barren indeed -

There can't be a harvest unless you plant seed,

There can't be attainment unless there's a goal,

And man's but a robot unless there's a soul...

If we send no ships out, no ships will come in,

And unless there's a contest, nobody can win...

For games can't be won unless they are played,

And Prayers can't be Answered unless they are Prayed...

So whatever is wrong with your life today,

You'll find a solution if you kneel down and pray.

Not just for pleasure, enjoyment and health,

Not just for honors and prestige and wealth...

But Pray For A Purpose to Make Life Worth Living,

And Pray For The Joy of Unselfish Giving,

For Great Is Your Gladness and Rich Your Reward

When you make your Life's Purpose the choice of the Lord.

Encouragement from Bob in Idaho ~ It Is Well With My Soul

I was listening to the Amazing Grace video on the blog and found this song and I think it would also be a great one to put online, especially with his comments right before he starts to sing, those comments touch all of our heart while we're wondering why we're standing.

Take care,

-Bob

Asher Update

Hello Everyone,

It's been a very long time since I've written you about our grandson Asher mostly because not much had changed in his condition. Paul and I visited this past weekend and I'm writing you now to ask for your prayers. Several weeks ago, Asher got a very bad cold followed by a stomach bug and he is now down to 12 pounds something at two and a half. Mark and Jess had some sort of feeding tube in but it agitated him so much that it caused him to have more of his breathing lapses. They are now contemplating some sort of permanent feeding tube but nothing they do for Asher is without risk.

He doesn't sleep very much at all. If he did, he wouldn't burn so many calories and would likely have better overall health.

Even though Asher does not have much physical strength, he raised his hands to my face as I kissed him goodbye yesterday.

I've attached a couple of pictures.

I'm praying that Asher will begin experiencing 8 hours of restful sleep daily and that his appetite will increase and also that Jess and Mark will be given wisdom about whether or not to go the feeding tube route.

Thanks so very much for standing with us for Asher.

Lots of love,

Judy Rousseau
